===Central America=== Due to geographical proximity of the Central American countries to the U.S., with its powerful military, economic, and political influences, there were several movements and proposals by the United States during the 19th and 20th centuries to annex some or all of the Central American republics ([[Costa Rica]], [[El Salvador]], [[Guatemala]], [[Honduras]] with the formerly British-ruled Bay Islands, [[Nicaragua]], [[Panama]] which had the U.S.-ruled [[Panama Canal Zone|Canal Zone]] territory from 1903 to 1979, and [[Belize]], which is a constitutional monarchy and was known as [[British Honduras]] until 1973). However, the U.S. never acted on these proposals from some U.S. politicians; some of which were never delivered or considered seriously. In 2001, El Salvador adopted the [[U.S. dollar]] as its currency, while Panama has used it for decades due to its ties to the Canal Zone.
